Peter Rushmore tells us "the trotskyite Workers Revolutionary Party was not directly involved in violence against racial nationalists". This is not correct. The WRP in Glasgow were plotting to attack British Nationalists. What came of the plotting I don't know?
The WRP did not associate with other left wing groups because of vast differences of ideology. At one mass demo in Glasgow, they had a march to Queens Park. the march was organised largely by Trade union members, and the communist party. The WRP were not allowed to join the main march. The organisers went to the police and said they did not want the trots along with them. The cops kept the WRP at the rear, some 50 yards behind.
There was no love lost between the WRP and the rest of the left in Britain. The left was green with envy over the WRP's success in opening a classy bookshop in Glasgow city centre, plus another down in London. Then the WRP had their sensationalist weekly paper - Newsline, which outshone the boring publications of the SWP, communist party, International Socialists, etc.
The reason for the fall out between the WRP and the rest of the left came after Gerry Healy, one of their theoretical gurus, wrote an article in which he said there was a great zionist conspiracy existing, which stretched all the way from Tel Aviv to Paris, London, New York and Washington DC. As you can imagine, the media went into one of its usual feeding frenzies (like sharks do). It was said that this was just another manifestation of othe theory of a great worldwide conspiracy by jews to get power. Yes! But is it true? Is their evidence to support it? Even a crafty old MP like Tam Dalyell spoke about a "jewish cabal" in the United States using their enormous clout to assault Iraq. Jews, of cource, wailed out their usual cry of "anti-semitism", and it was even said that Dalyell should be prosocuted under the Race Relations Act , which discriminates against us whites, by the way.
